Welcome

Hi, I'm Doug Neill. Both writing and drawing help me to process my own life and the things I see around me. As tools for figuring stuff out, I'm finding them to be useful. As tools for communication, they're not bad either.

I write and I draw for the same reason - to notice more. It's easy to go through our days and our lives caught up in the rush of modernity. It takes intentional effort to step away from that rush, to slow down, and to notice and appreciate the things that you see around you and within you. My writings and my drawings give me regular opportunities to set that intention and then put in the effort.
